I haven't looked too hard, but unless they are saying that they really can't meet current needs, then to me it is just their quarterly grab. I expect they know by jumping a couple weeks before memorial day they can get everyone who already had their end of school trips planned, and they they'll drop the price just before people start to scream and the gov't starts looking into it.
If there's been an issue with a local supplier, the retailers will of course raise prices. There's a time lag between a disruption and having the pumps run dry.
